The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.
A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:
Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were unacceptable.
The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.
In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypts first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the countrys problems.
Link to originial FR thread from Friday with many amazing photos.
From abd el Moneim Ridh sq. the MB was beaten back and headed to Maspero, the state TV building.
Some of them are still clashing with the rebels by the iconic National Museum...I hope it’s protected by the military. There’s a lot of priceless “idols” the beards would love to burn and steal.
Some of Morsi supporters at Cairo University are mobilizing to go to Maspero.
He should be executed on the spot. No time to pose for a picture should be given.
#Tamarod calls Egyptian to pour to the streets again tomorrow (Sat) to support the new road map.
Agreed...all caught should be...I believe in capital punishment. IMO so does God.
I’m sitting here in disbelief that not one single news channel is carying this. Not even headline news.
The Egyptian stock market rose to the highest ever to the point that it was CLOSED!
Enough profits! LOL!
A report of the defeat of the MB in 6 October bridge. The people on it now ARE THE REBELS!
Yay!
As I said, the Egyptians in the USA MAY UNCOVER THE COMMUNIST MEDIA, starting tomorrow!
Just more proof that the entire network system is managed, to control what Americans are allowed to know. ... And there is always the possibility that the revolution could spread to Obama thugland.
Bridge with Mosi MB clearly attacking opposition....

Listening to this live stream http://www.ustream.tv/alexanderpage posted by you upthread. It is live, right?
Who is the man providing commentary? pro or anti Morsi. I still can’t tell.
Said he just heard explosion from Tahrir Sq.
They are saying SUNDAY. I’m sure to coincide with TUNISIA!
Reverse of theArab spring is unfolding in front of our eyes.
From my advantage point in looking for photos and video...news etc......the media is a huge fail...they might just as well not waste their time with the reporting they’re doing.
I agree the media is managed...I saw this right from the beginning of this revolution....they wait to see how it can be spun...and the public gets it after the facts...and always in what they want the public to “believe”.
lol. The deerhunter and his bottle. Crazy combination, that ;).
I believe he’s a Brit who’s pro Morsi.
The rebels control the bridge ABOVE AND CLOSE TO T’S. the MB attacked from there and were evicted by huge TS REBELS.
yes it’s live...so is this one if that one drops off...
I’ve moved to this one...but the guy talks (british) on the other one and lends to what is happening.
